How old would you be on other planets?

A planet's year is the time it takes to orbit the Sun once, so your age in planet years is the number of orbits you have completed. Someone who is 30 Earth years old is 124.5 on Mercury, 15.9 on Mars and 2.5 on Jupiter. On Pluto they would be 0.12.

Earth's year is 365.2 days. Mercury orbits in 88 days, so it has about four birthdays for each one on Earth. Neptune takes 164 Earth years to go round once, longer than any recorded human lifespan, so no one has ever been a year old there.
